August 27, 410: The sacking of Rome by the Visigoths ends after three days. Some view the Visigoths as just one more group of barbarians that helped to bring an end to the Roman Empire. But that is only part of the story. The Visigoths were Arians and they supplanted the anti-Jewish Catholic hierarchy, when they took control of parts of what is now Spain later in the 5th Century. For the Visigoths, the Catholics were synonymous with their Roman enemy but they had no animosity for the Jews. They took advantage of their unique skills and the Jews repaid them by taking a leading role in defending the passes of the Pyrenees against invasion from the Catholic Franks and Burundians. All this would come to an end in the last half of the sixth century when the Visigoth kings converted to Catholicism and adopted the anti-Jewish policies espoused by the Church.[1]
415 Alexandria, Jews expelled.[2]
415 C.E.: Jews are accused of ritual murder during Purim.[2][3] Christians in Antioch, and Magona confiscate or burn synagogues. Bishop Cyril of Alexandria forces his way into the synagogue, expels the Jews and gives their property to the mob. Prefect Orestes is stoned almost to death for protesting. [3][4]
415-1009 CE: Hagia Sion Basilica, Church of the Apostiles, Jerusalem.[5]
418 CE: The first record of Jews being forced to convert or face expulsion. Severus, the Bishop of Minorca, claimed to have forced 540 Jews to accept Christianity upon conquering the island.[6]

August 27, 1172: Welcome to Lesser Land, the realm of Henry, England's forgotten king...
Marguerite of France, the Young Queen (c. 1157/1158-1197)
Marguerite of France, Henry the Young king's wife has been even more neglected by historians than her husband. Not much is known about the young queen, even the exact date of her birth remains unknown. Not very unusual, concerning the treatment of women in the Middle Ages, but in case of Marguerite there was more to that. Her arrival into this world must have been a great disappointment to her father, Louis VII of France. A few years before he had divorced Eleanor of Aquitaine- ironically Marguerite’s future mother-in-law- because he had found her unable to produce a male heir. His second marriage, as it turned out, did not have a very auspicious beginning either, for in 1158 Donna Constanza of Castile had a cheek to give birth to one more daughter and leave Louis without so much-awaited male heir. Marguerite was the third daughter of Louis, the first by his second wife. She was born when her father was already thirty-eight and despairing over lack of a son. From his first marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine Louis had two daughters, Marie (b. 1145) and Alix (b.1151). He had his marriage to Eleanor declared null on grounds of consanguinity, but it was only a cover. He yearned for a male heir and Eleanor, apparently, was unable to provide him with one. [8]
August 27, 1255: The day on which Hugh of Lincoln reportedly died. Discovery of his body two days later touched off one of the first, if not the first, Blood Libel.[9]
August 27, 1331: Jacquetta's mother, Margherita del Balzo, was a daughter of Francesco del Balzo, 1st Duke of Andria and Sueva Orsini. Sueva was a daughter of Nicola Orsini, Count of Nola (August 27, 1331 – February 14, 1399) and Jeanne de Sabran. Nicola Orsini himself was a son of Roberto Orsini, Count of Nola (1295–1345) and Sibilla del Balzo. Sibilla was a daughter of Hugh de Baux, Great Seneschal of the Kingdom of Naples. Roberto Orsini was a son of Romano Orsini, Royal Vicar of Rome and Anastasia de Montfort. Anastasia was the oldest daughter and heiress of Guy de Montfort, Count of Nola and Margherita Aldobrandeschi. Guy de Montfort was a son of Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester and Eleanor of England. Eleanor was the youngest child of John of England and his Queen consort Isabella of Angoulême. [10]
August 27, 1495: "Cecill wif unto the right noble Prince Richard late Duke of Yorke" made her will on April 1, 1495. It was proved at the Prerogative Court of Canterbury on August 27, of the same year. [4] [11][12]
August 27, 1529:– Treaty of Cambrai removes France from the war with the Emperor. [13]
August 27, 1572: Henry, King of Navarre, and the Prince of Condé, compelled to renounce the new faith, write to Pope Gregory XIII that they have returned to the bosom of the Catholic Church. [14]
August 27, 1585 - Duke van Parma's troops occupy Antwerp[15]
End of August 1585: M. de L'Aubespine de Châteauneuf arrives at London, to succeed M. de Mauvissière in his embassy. Chérelles, who had returned from France some weeks before M. de Châteauneuf, retained his office of secretary under the new ambassador.
At this time, Mary received letters from France, among which w^ere several from Morgan. Indeed, notwithstanding his confinement in the Bastille, Morgan was always employed on schemes to restore the Scottish Queen to liberty, and in corresponding secretly with her. He then first began to speak to her about Gilbert Gifford and Foley.* [16][17]
1.Daughter of Henrietta of England and Philippe of France, Duke of Orléans: Anne Marie d'Orléans (August 27, 1669 – August 26, 1728) married Victor Amadeus II, Duke of Savoy (future king of Sardinia) and had issue. [18]
2.
August 27, 1705
(27 Aug 1705) James City Parish - Mr. George Lee and Mr. Joseph Pettitt, church wardens, Robert Holderbe and Christopher Smith, clerks of the Vestry. Parishes were equivalent to present day counties and had both civil and religious roles. The Vestry Clerk is the equivalent of today’s county clerk. As Clerk, Christopher was paid a salary and five pounds of tobacco or six shillings for recording births, deaths and marriages. The tower of the James City Church still stands; the church was rebuilt in the early 1900s. [19]
September 6, 1705: On this day an auto-de-fe took place in Lisbon. “In the public square of Lisbon there were led out to the stake a number of hapless victims declared criminal by the tribunal of the Inquisition, for being suspected and afterwards convicted of Judaism, a crime than which that abominable institution knew none greater. [20]
So, Gottlieb existed as a name with a different meaning than Theophilos. However, its meaning was reinterpreted and it was paired up as a German translation of Theophilos and Amadeus.
That being said, I've seen Gutfreund and Gotfreund interchanged. So, it's certainly possible that our families sometime in the 18th century took the name "friend of God" because of a religious vocation (remember the Cohen link), and in my case, the name changed over a few years to Gutfreund. But, I have not real evidence for this.

xii. August 27, 1732:
August 27, 1732: Ambrose & Frances Madison
Grandparents
Ambrose Madison (ca. 1696 – 1732) was a member of the first of three generations of Madisons to reside on the Montpelier property. Like so many others who first came to the Piedmont, the Madison family hailed from the long-settled Tidewater region of Virginia. John Maddison (d. ca. 1680) immigrated to Virginia in 1653. His grandson Ambrose was a well-established, well-connected member of the gentry class. He held several significant public offices, married well, and owned thousands of acres in both the Tidewater and Piedmont.
In 1721, Ambrose Madison, the eldest child of John (1660-1725) and Isabella Minor Maddison (d. 1738), married Frances Taylor (1700-1761), daughter of James and Martha Thompson Taylor. The couple went on to have three children – James (1723-1801), Elizabeth (1725-1773), and Frances (1726-1776).
Madison-Chew Patent, 1723
In 1723, Ambrose Madison along with his brother-in-law Thomas Chew, patented 4,675 acres in the newly opened Piedmont of Virginia. Madison and Chew divided the tract, located along the Southwest Mountains, with Madison retaining 2,850 acres of land northwest of the ridge. Per the requirements of the patent, Madison had three years during which to make certain improvements to the land including erecting a house and clearing land. While Madison sent slaves to clear his newly acquired parcel of land in 1723, it was not until 1732 that Ambrose moved his family to the Montpelier estate, then called Mount Pleasant.
Poison by Slaves
Soon after taking up permanent residence at Mount Pleasant, Ambrose became ill due to an apparent poisoning by slaves. He made out his will in July 1732 and died on August 27, 1732. Three slaves – Pompey, Dido, and Turk – were convicted of Ambrose’s death. Pompey, who was on lease to the Madisons by a neighboring planter, was sentenced to death by hanging. Dido, a female, and Turk were judged to be only tangentially involved in the poisoning of their master and received a sentence of twenty-nine lashes each. As property of the Madisons, the two were subsequently returned to Frances Madison.
Frances continued to run the plantation with notable success (she inherited the twenty-nine slaves listed on Ambrose’s inventory) and co-managed it along with her only son, James, once he came of age in 1741. Frances, who died in 1761, never remarried after her husband’s untimely death.[23]
August 27, 1758: Fort Frontenac The French surrender this fort on Lake Ontario, effectively destroying their ability to communicate with their troops in the Ohio Valley. [24]

A Widow on the Frontier
After her husband was poisoned, Frances managed the plantation until her son James came of age.
August 27, 1759: MICHAEL COX, August 27, 1759 - January 14, 1832. Served as a Private in the Washington County, Pennsylvania Militia. He participated in the Sandusky Expedition of 1782. Marker location - Cox Family Cemetery, Ohio County, W. Va. [25]
Sunday, August 27th, 1775
This morning my bed fellow went into the woods and caught her horse and mine, saddled them, put my Blanket on the saddle, and prepared everything ready, seemingly with a great deal, of good nature. Absolutely refused my assistance. The old Woman got me some dried venison for Breakfast. When I took my leave returned the thanks as well as I could by signs. My Bedfellow was my guide and conducted me through the woods, where there were no signs of a road or without my knowing with certainty whither I was going. She often mentioned John Anderson[26] and talked a great deal in Indian. I attempted to speak Indian, which diverted her exceedingly. In about an hour she brought me to Mr. Anderson’s camp, who had been very uneasy at my absence and employed an Indian to seek me. I gave my Dulcinea a match coat, with which she seemed very well pleased. Proceeded on our journey and about noon got to an Indian Town called Wale-hack-tap-poke, or the Town with a good Spring, on the Banks of the Muskingham and inhabited by Dellawar Indians. Christianized under the Moravian Sect, it is a pretty town consisting of about sixty houses, and is built of logs and covered with Clapboards. It is regularly laid out in three spacious streets which meet in the centre, where there is a large meeting house built of logs sixty foot square covered with Shingles, Glass in the windows and a Bell, a good plank floor with two rows of forms. Adorned with some few pieces of Scripture painting, but very indifferently executed. All about the meeting house is kept very clean.
In the evening went to the meeting. But never was I more astonished in my life. I expected to have seen nothing but anarchy and confusion, as I have been taught to look upon these beings with contempt. Instead of that, here is the greatest regularity, order, and decorum, I ever saw in any place of Worship, in my life. With that solemnity of behaviour and modest, religious deportment would do honour to the first religious society on earth, and put a bigot or enthusiast, out of countenance. The parson was a Dutchman, but preached in English, He had an Indian interpreter, who explained it to the Indians by sentences. They sung in the Indian language. The men sit on one row of forms and the women on the other with the children in the front. Each sex comes in and goes out of their own side of the house. The old men sit on each side the parson. Treated with Tea, Coffee, and Boiled Bacon at supper. The Sugar they make themselves out of the sap of a certain tree. Lodged at Whiteman’s house, married to an Indian woman. [27]
August 27, 1776: Battle of Long Island - August 27, 1776 (also known as the Battle of Brooklyn) [28] Donop's troops participated in the initial British landing at Long Island, New York, on August 22, 1776, and the succeeding Battle of Long Island on August 27.[3] [29]August 27, 1776: Long Island (NY, August 27, 1776) [30] On August 27, 1776: the troops at Brooklyn Heights disintegrated under an unexpected attack from their left flank. In a British effort to earn goodwill for a negotiated peace, they allowed American survivors to flee to Manhattan. Otherwise, the War for Independence might easily have been quashed less than three months after it began. [31]
After the evacuation of the British from Boston, Washington’s army followed them to New York. On Long Island, the Continenetals suffered a series of routs, culminating in the battle of Long Island on August 27. [32]
The Battle of Long Island
The American army suffers the first of a series of disastrous defeats, beginning with the Battle of Long Island. Washington is outmaneuvered by British general William Howe, and forced to evacuate Long Island and Manhattan. American Morale is very low.[33]
August 27, Colonel William Crawford was in campaign on Long Island.[34] The regiment which he (William Crawford) raised was made up principally of men from the region now embraced in the counties of Westmoreland and Fayette, but no rolls or lists of their names can be given. The regiment took the firld early in 1776, fought well in the battle of Long Island, marched with Washington’s dispirited army in its retreat through New Jersey in the latter part of the same year, and performed good service at Trenton and other engagemements, but in the latter years of the war served in the Western Department, and for a long time formed part of the garrison Fort Pitt..[35]
August 27, 1776
Franz Gotlob’s regiment was at Long Island.
“August 27. Our colonel had been promised that he should make the first attack, and he heard that the English were to attack today, but he had not received any orders either last evening or this morning. About ten o’clock we were all put under arms (the colonel having then spoken with General von Heister), and about eleven we were all in order of battle. On our left and right the English advanced on the flanks, and destroyed those that we drove back. On the left wing, where I commanded the advanced guards (thirty chasseurs and twenty grenadiers), stood Colonel Block, with his battalion. Behind me I had Captain Mallet with one company, as a reserve. In the centre Captain von Wrede attacked, and had the battalion von Minnigerode behing him. On the right Captain Lory pressed on, supported by the three remaining companies of Linsig’s battalion” [Battalion von Linsingen].
In describing this arrangement of the troops, the writer refers only to the brigade in which he served. The Hessians, forming the centre of the British force, were posted on the Flatbush road. The right, under Clinton and Lord Percy, with Sir William Howe, had started early in the morning and succeeded in turning the left wing of the American position, near Bedford, and in getting in its rear. On hearing the cannon on his right, Heiste ordered the Hessians to advance. The battle was substantially lost and won before the first shot was fired, the Americans having been outflanked. The latter saw themselves in danger of being cut off from their fortifications, and fled. A few of them were drowned in Gowanus Creek while trying to escape. Two whole regiments would probably have been captured but for the bravery of General Stirling, who selected five companies of Marylanders, with whom he covered the retreat of the rest. Of these five companies only eight men escaped death or capture. We return to our Hessian officer and his narrative.
“My chasseurs were so eager that I had hardly got into the wood when I found myself alone with my command. I came into the middle of the rebel camp, where they still were, saw on my left their great camp, on my right a fortification, and fifty or sixty men were forming in column before me. But we left them no time and beat them completely. Many were shot and still more taken prisoners. I did not lose a single man, so much had the rebels come to be afraid of the chasseurs. Things went equally well on the other wing. We lost few men, and except one chasseur, who was shot in the village, not a single one was killed. On the other hand, we made on the first more than five hundred prisoners, among whom were General Stirling and one other general, and Colonel Johnson was shot. General Stirling is one of the most important rebels, who, sword in hand, forced the people to fight against their king. As long as we had no horses, the prisoners were harnessed in front of the cannon, and they were afterwards sent aboard the ships of war. In two days we had taken eleven hundred men. The rebels looked ragged, and had no shirts on. Our Hessians marched like Hessians: they marched incorrigibly, and the English like the bravest and best of soldiers. They, therefore, lost more men than we. This was a lucky day for us. The rebels had a very bad one in the village of Flatbush. At first they made good use of their position, burned down a house and set fire to the barns upon our outposts. But when we attacked them courageously in their hiding places, they ran, as all mobs do.” [36]

The following two sources list the engagements of the von Mirbach regiment. More analysis of the engagements is needed. JG.
Strength Estimates of American Forces
August 27, 1776: estimated totals 28,500 officers and men; effectives 19,000
This is an historian’s careful estimate by Henry P. Johnston, adjusting strength returns from August 3 and September 12, 1776. Johnston identifies 71 regiments or parts of regiments, of which 25 were Continental. His estimate is very close to Washington’s report on September 2 that “our number of men at present fit for duty is under 20,000.”[38]
REGIMENT VON MIRBACH

August 27, 1777
On the twenty-seventh, the vanguard under Sir William Howe proceeded to the head of Elk, and on the following day to Gray’s Hill, about two miles to the eastward.
At the head of the Elk was a quantity of public and private stores, including a considerable supply of salt, of which Washington in his official letters says “Every attempt will be made to secure that.” The value of this article during the war will be remembered. One bushel was a sufficient bribe to induce the attempt to capture Squire Cheyney, for the price of which a suit was subsequently brought before the Squire himself.
The stores were mostly secured; the large amount of valuable property removed by the residents required almost all the teams within reach, so that several thousand bushels of corn and oats fell into the hands of the enemy.
Howe immediately issued a proclamation declaring that private property should be respected, and strict order and discipline maintained, and offering pardon and protection to all who would submit to the authority of Britain.
Three brigades, composing the rear guard, under Gen. Knyphausen remained at the landing to cover the debarkation of the stores and artillery, whilst one brigade under Gen. Grant, occupied a central position between Howe and Knyphausen. [44]
August 27, 1777
The Delaware militia had been early posted at the head of Elk, and entrusted with the removal of the stores. On the twenty seventh of August about nine hundred Pennsylvania militia marched in that direction.
The cavalry were placed under the command of Count Pulaski; the Marquis La Fayette now first entered, as a volunteer, the revolutionary service.[45]
Records of Moravian Congregation at Hebron, 1775-1781:
August 27, 1777. Towards evening three hundred and forty
Hessians arrived, and shortly afterwards Colonel Curtis
Grubb sent two soldiers to notify us, that they were to
occupy our clergy-house. We protested against it and sent
word back, that we would not permit any one to enter our
dwelling; that it was not a public building. [46]
August 27, 1777 8/25/1777 Edmond appeared for defendant Samuel Wells, who wanted a continuance. Edmd. said he would take condemnation of the court if Wells didn't appear. (2) Zachariah Connell, pltf. 2. Samuel Wells may have been related to Benjamin Wells, also on this timeline. When Samuel Wells died in 1781, his will mentioned a Benjamin Wells. The Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine, Volume VI, "Abstracts of Administrations of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania", Page 264: "Samuel Wells to Benjamin Wells, 1781" Later, a Benjamin Wells was the father of Nancy Wells, who married Hezekiah Lindsey, b.1799? Hezekiah was the son of John Lindsey, b.1774, who was the son of Hezekiah Lindsey, b. abt.1747. Yohogania, VA. [47]
August 27, 1779: It appears that early in 1779, just when is not now known, both
States appointed commissioners to deal with the subject, and these
commissioners — George Bryan, John Ewing and David Rittenhouse
on the part of Pennsylvania, and Rev. James Madison, Rev. Robert
Andrews and Thomas Lewis on the part of Virginia — met at Balti-
more on August 27, 1779. The proceedings at this meeting were in
writing, were reported to the Assemblies of the respective States, and
may be found in Henning's Statutes of Virginia, Vol. X., p. 119. A
final agreement was reached and put in writing on August 31, 1779-
It was very simple in its terms, for a matter so long contested and of
such magnitude. It was as follows :
"To extend Mason and Dixon's line due west five degrees of longi-
tude, to be computed from the river Delaware, for the southern boun-
dary of Pennsylvania ; and that a meridian drawn from the western
extremity thereof to the northern line of said State be the western line
of said State forever.[48]
FROM M. DE ROCHAMBEAU to Marquis De Lafayette
Newport, August 27th, 1780.
Permit an aged father, my dear marquis, to reply to you as he would do
to a son whom he tenderly loves and esteems. You know me well enough to
feel convinced that I do not require being excited, that when I, at my
age, form a resolution founded upon military and state reasons, and
supported by circumstances, no possible instigation can induce me to
change my mind without a positive order from my general. I am happy to
say that his despatches, on the contrary, inform me that my ideas
correspond substantially with his own, as to all those points which
would allow us to turn this into an offensive operation, and that we
only differ in relation to some small details, on which a slight
explanation, or his commands, would suffice to remove all difficulties
in an instant. As a Frenchman, you feel humiliated, my dear friend, at
seeing an English squadron blockading in this country, with a decided
superiority of frigates and ships, the Chevalier de Ternay's squadron;
but console yourself, my dear marquis, the port of Brest has been
blockaded for two months by an English fleet, and this is what prevents
the second division from setting out under the escort of M. de
Bougainville. If you had made the two last wars, you would have heard
nothing spoken of but these same blockades; I hope that M. de Guichen,
on one side, and M. de Gaston, on the other, will revenge us for these
momentary mortifications.
It is always right, my dear marquis, to believe that Frenchmen are
invincible; but I, after an experience of forty years, am going to
confide a great secret to you: there are no men more easily beaten when
they have lost confidence in their chiefs, and they lose it instantly
when their lives have been compromised, owing to any private or
personal ambition. If I have been so fortunate as to have retained
their confidence until the present moment, I may declare, upon the most
scrupulous examination of my own conscience, that I owe it entirely to
this fact, that, of about fifteen thousand men who have been killed or
wounded under my command, of various ranks, and in the most bloody
actions, I have not to reproach myself with having caused the death of
a single man for my own personal advantage.
You wrote to the Chevalier de Chastellux, my dear marquis, that the
interview I requested of our general has embarrassed him, because it
only becomes necessary after the arrival of the second division, when
there will be quite time enough to act. But you must surely have
forgotten that I have unceasingly requested that interview immediately,
and that it is absolutely necessary that he, the admiral, and I, should
concert together all our projects and details, that in case one of the
three chances should occur and enable us to act offensively, our
movements may be prompt and decisive. In one of these three cases, my
dear marquis, you will find in your old prudent father some remnants of
vigour and activity. Be ever convinced of my sincere affection, and
that if I pointed out to you very gently what displeased me in your
last despatch, I felt at the time convinced that the warmth of your
heart had somewhat impaired the coolness of your judgment. Retain that
latter quality in the council-room, and reserve all the former for the
hour of action. It is always the aged father, Rochambeau, who is
addressing his dear son Lafayette, whom he loves, and will ever love
and esteem until his latest breath.[49]
XII.— CooK TO IrVINE.
August 27, 1782.
Sir:—I thought to have been able to inform you something particular about the intended expedition. I am yet in the dark about it. I have had no return from the north side of Youghiogheny as yet; although I am of opinion that this county would furnish near five hundred men with provision and horses equivalent; that is, from what I have been able to learn, although I am obliged to build something on conjecture. Colonel Harrison is on his way to Colonel Marshel in order to investigate the state of matters there and will call upon you on his return.
P. S.— Sir: After I had sealed this letter I recollected this from Colonel [Charles] Campbell respecting spies he says he has hired, desiring me to acquaint you with them.1 September
2, 1782.[50]
August 27, 1789”: "Fredericksburg[Virginia], August 27, 1789.— On Tuesday, the 25th inst. died at her home in this town, Mrs. Mart "Washington, aged 82 years, the venerable mother of the illustrious President of the United States, after a long and painful indisposition, which she bore with uncommon patience. Though a pious tear of duty, affection and esteem, is due to the memory of so revered a character, yet our grief must be greatly alleviated from the consideration that she is relieved from the pitiable infirmities attendant on an extreme old age. — It is usual when virtuous and conspicuous persons quit this terrestrial abode, to publish an elaborate panegyric on
their characters — sufiice it to say, she conducted herself through this transitory life with virtue, prudence and chrietianity, worthy the mother of the greatest Hero that ever adorned the annals of history.
" O may kind heaven, propitious to our fate,
Extend THAT HEEO'S to her lengthened date ;
Through the long period, healthy, active, sage;
Nor know the sad infirmities of age. ' ' [51][52]
August 27, 1792: Leopold and King Frederick William II of Prussia, in consultation with émigrés French nobles, issued the Declaration of Pillnitz, which declared the interest of the monarchs of Europe in the well-being of Louis and his family, and threatened vague but severe consequences if anything should befall them. Although Leopold saw the Pillnitz Declaration as an easy way to appear concerned about the developments in France without committing any soldiers or finances to change them, the revolutionary leaders in Paris viewed it fearfully as a dangerous foreign attempt to undermine France's sovereignty.
In addition to the ideological differences between France and the monarchical powers of Europe, there were continuing disputes over the status of Austrian estates in Alsace, and the concern of members of the National Constituent Assembly about the agitation of émigrés nobles abroad, especially in the Austrian Netherlands and the minor states of Germany. [53]
August 27, 1812: John Connell to General Biggs, Charleston (now Wellsburg,) Va (now WV) August 27, 1812 . [54]
August 27, 1812: William Henry Harrison immediately moved up to St. Marys with newly arrived detachments to supervise the construction of Fort Barbee. To insure transportation of adequate supplies to Winchester's army, then advancing northeasterly up the Maumee from Fort Wayne, he sent on a force to cut a road along the Auglaize Trail to Defiance, 60 miles in advance, and to erect two outposts. A drove of 300 cattle and 200 packhorses destined for Winchester were pushed forward by the road-builders as they labored in the Black Swamp. The protection of this supply link was now Harrison's primary concern and when on August 27 two mounted officers brought word that British regulars and Indians were harrying the left wing of his advancing force, he determined to hasten forward to reinforce them that very afternoon with a troop of dragoons and infantry.
In command of the Northwestern Army for just three days, this would be his first foray against the enemy in that capacity. He thought that the Virginia militia reinforcements he had been promised might arrive at any time, so before leaving, he wrote field orders to its commander (whose identity he did not yet know), laying out his plan and instructions for the campaign. Wanting to be sure that the letter reached the recipient in a country swarming with the enemy, Harrison dispatched two couriers, each with identical versions of the letter. One of these originals survives in the collections of the Indiana State Historical Society; one is offered here. These may well have been the first such orders Harrison wrote as Commander of the U.S. Northwestern Army. [55]
August 27, 1814: The President and Mrs. Dolly Madison return to Washington to witness the devastation. In just two hours the Capital which had taken ten years to make had been reduce to a shell. [56]
August 27, 1855: During the election of the Kansas's first territorial legislature, on March 30, 1855, Jones led a group of pro-slavery men that destroyed the ballot box at Bloomington, Kansas. This action coupled with his pro-slavery sentiment prompted his appointment on August 27, 1855, as first sheriff of Douglas County by the acting Governor Daniel Woodson. Jones executed his new responsibilities with much zeal, suppressing the rights of the free-state men under his jurisdiction and fostering an atmosphere of distrust. [57]
An extract from a letter of Judge Howe, dated August 27, 1862, shows what plans her friends made for her:
"Mrs. Harvey is visiting us. You can imagine something how she suffers from the loss of her husband. Her friends desire that she should find employment with which to occupy her mind. But what employment can a woman find? She is urged to try a school for young ladies, but she fears the derangement of the times will forbid success, and so do I. She has thought of a hospital, but you know General Hammond is taking them under his own care exclusively, and her strength will not warrant her in contracting for day labor. This morning I suggested to her the idea of being appointed allotment commissioner in place of Mr. Holton. It pleases her. It is a kind of missionary labor, to which she is fully equal, and in which she will be, I am confident, very successful. I know no one more energetic than she is in whatever interests her. You know how deeply she has interested herself In the welfare of the army. She could plead the cause of a soldier's family to the soldier himself, I think, with great effect."
letter of Judge Howe to Judge Doolittle (Green Bay. Aug. 27, 1862).
The duties of an allotment commissioner were to visit the different companies in order to ascertain what proportion of the soldier's wages he would send home in monthly or other installments. This money was to be placed at the disposal of the families of the volunteers.
Considering the soldier's temptation, this system was a very useful one; it apportioned part of his pay by his own act, in order to support his family.[58]
Ordered to Memphis, Tenn., June 5, and duty there till August 27, 1864. [59]

[16] * It is very important to determine the dates. Morgan's letters
were of June 5, and July 20, 1585 ; they prove that Walsingham was already laying the plan of his famous conspiracy, since it was then that Gifford began to be in communication with Babington and his friends. On the July 26, Morgan gave Babington a letter of recommendation to Mary, and next day Charles Paget did the same in favour of Gilbert Gifford. There is no doubt that Morgan, during the whole of this unfortunate business, acted in perfect good faith ; but he wanted prudence, and allowed himself to be deluded by traitors. Surrounded by Catholic refugees, as well English as Scotch, he was unable to recognize among them the numerous spies of Walsingham. The chief of these agents were Foley, Maude, Greatlej, and especially Gilbert
GifFord. Mention is often made of the latter in the correspondence
of Mary and her secretaries, under the names of Pietro or Barnaby,
and sometimes under that of Nicolas Cornelius. Gilbert Gifford
belonged to a very good Catholic family in Staffordshire. His
father was a prisoner at London for his religious opinions ; and
Gifford, while a refugee in France, had taken orders in the semi-
nary at Rhelms. All these circumstances afforded him the means
of speedily gaining the confidence of Morgan and his friends, and
made it easy for him to perform the disgraceful mission committed
to him by Walsingham.

[26] Anderson, the Reverend John. Born c1748 on the border of England and Scotland of Scotch parents. After university graduation, he studied theology and was licensed by a Presbytery of the Secession Church. A physically small man, no more than five-feet tall, with a troublesome voice and appearance (black, piercing eyes and a large shock of tangled hair), he appeared as a man who would devote his career to the writing, the reading, and the editing of church matters. He sailed for the new United States in June, 1783. After arrival in Philadelphia and four years of study, he was ordained in Philadelphia October 31, 1788 (sine titulo—"without title"). He then was sent to western PA where he spent the remainder of his life.
John Anderson - Service Presbyterian Church. Service Church Road 1.5 miles north of PA 18 alongside the Ambridge Reservoir in Beaver County. Photos by compiler with Joyce Chandler. Enlarged stone and enlarged plaque.
Besides his direct ministry, he devoted his considerable energy as professor of theology in the seminary of the Associate Church at Service. In the early days, Dr. Anderson's own log house was the "seminary." Harvard, Yale, and William and Mary colleges had professors of theology, while the Dutch Reformed Church formed a seminary in New Brunswick, NJ in 1784, and the Roman Catholics at St. Sulpice and St. Mary's in Baltimore in 1791.
"Service Seminary, Beaver C. PA. 1794." Copy of drawing found at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary—which was founded in 1794. Enlarged photo.
Anderson's "Eudolpha Hall" was founded in 1794. The practical effect of Anderson's seminary was that, prior to its formation, if a Presbyterian church wanted a pastor, they went to Scotland to find one. Besides his considerable legacy in religious education, he was perhaps known as a prototypical absent-minded professor—riding a horse from home to church with a book propped between his legs—oblivious to the world around him, wandering off the path in a state of complete concentration. He was known to read and study 10-12 hours a day.
A stone marker at the Service Creek Church is worn heavily with age, but one may decipher the inscription:
"The Rev'd John Anderson
Doctor of Divinity
Died April 6, 1830
I have fought a good fight
I have finished my course
I have kept the faith"
Compiler's note: For those needing a reminder, "I have fought a good fight...." is from 2 Timothy, IV,7. The opening phrase is the basis of the first line of a popular hymn.
